NFL Trade Rumors
Colts rookie WR Adonai Mitchell showed flashes during his first year but didn’t show enough consistency for himself or the organization. Mitchell vowed to improve in year two and outlined his plan to work to get to where he needs to be.
“I’m definitely going to get a quick reset,” Mitchell said, via Mike Chappell. “I’m going to be a couch potato for I don’t know (how long). Once I get back up and on my feet again, I’m just working, man.”
“This position is all about confidence and ain’t nobody taking that away from me, no time. It’ll be a lot different from this year, for sure. At the end of the day, it’s all going to be on me. It always has been. It always will be. Just looking forward to coming back.”
Indianapolis GM Chris Ballard backed Mitchell while noting how he needs to be better in 2025.
“Just young,” Ballard said. “Like any young player, there’s going to be a maturation process with him. And he has some definitely, really strong moments. But we need more consistent moments from him.”
Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez said that he noticed the team’s organization became more laid back after the team moved on from HC Bill Belichick.
“I would say the building got a little more lax. I mean, that might have hurt us,” Gonzalez said, via PFT. “I would probably say it got a little more lax.”
Gonzalez bounced back from a disappointing rookie season that was cut short due to injuries to be named a second-team All-Pro in 2024.
“It was tough [this season], but honestly I was looking more of it as just going out there and having fun,” Gonzalez said. “I got hurt my rookie year, and just playing the whole year was great for me and having fun. Obviously, you want to win. That’s the main goal. But we were in a lot of close games. I think we had seven one-score games. So, we’re not far off.”
Titans DL Jeffery Simmons has been with the team since 2019 where they have missed the playoffs four straight years after making it each of his first three seasons. Despite the recent struggles, Simmons is confident they are on the right path to getting back to contending in the AFC.
“That’s my goal,” Simmons said, via Jim Wyatt of the team’s website. “And I think with the things we have in place in Tennessee, it’s going to happen. Heck, I think we have three or four former GMs with us now. I think Miss Amy understands what we need to do from what I am seeing with the hires, and I am excited.”
“I am excited to see what (the new regime) can do with our team, and our roster. I most definitely believe we can get here, and we will get here.”
At this point...
